When New York was first settled by Europeans, they were Dutch and the city was called "New Amsterdam". So there were Dutch people on Long Island.

Okay, translated that means that your great grandparent came from Dutch settlers in the Long Island area of New York. Parts of New York were settled by the Dutch in the late 1700's.

Long Island is in New York, right? And the Dutch come from Holland.

The Dutch originally settled New York......(look up how long island got its name)....and the many places in the world...like the Dutch Indies....
Good Luck
